Massive explosions hit fuel depot

"A fire is continuing to blaze at a fuel depot in Hertfordshire after a series of large explosions sent black smoke drifting across south-east England.
Police say 43 people were injured, two of them seriously, after flames shot hundreds of feet into the sky.

The incident at the Buncefield fuel depot, after 0600 GMT near junction 8 of the M1, was said to be the largest of its kind in peacetime Europe.

The fire, which police believe was an accident, could burn for another day."
